I have been a practicing attorney for more than 20 years and have extensive experience in all aspects of family law matters. I believe in alternative dispute resolution processes, such as mediation and arbitration, but am well exerienced in litigation. My practice includes a focus on collaborative family law, in which parties commit to resolving their disputes outside of the court system.
I also work with my firm's school law team, assisting school districts address special education, open records, and transgender issues. I also assist school districts and their employees in cases in which parents involve them in family law proceeedings.
I live in Barneveld Wisconsin, with my 4 children, triplets age 15 and a younger son age 11. I love practicing the martial arts and have a Black Belt in Mixed Martial Arts.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
Ronda and I were coworkers for seven years at Boardman & Clark LLP, and we served as co-counsel on difficult, litigated divorces. Rhonda is a thoughtful, compassionate attorney with a great sense of humor, which helps tremendously in the sometimes stressful area of family law. She is equally at home in the Collaborative Divorce setting and in the courtroom.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
I have worked with Rhonda as co-counsel on a difficult divorce case and had her as opposing counsel. I find Rhonda to be a consummate professional. She provides cost-effective strategic plans and compassionate advocacy.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Rhonda is an excellent advocate. I have worked many family cases with her as opposing counsel. She is always highly prepared and effective in court. She also works with her clients to settle disputes when that is in their best interests. Rhonda is highly respected and a strong advocate. I recommend her, without hesitation, for any family law case.
